Each product needs to be configured to match up the appropriate print channel setup for it in the Konica.

Configure Print Channels Window

Configuring Products:

  1. Select the Configure Product Channels line to highlight it (the area around Configure Product Channels will turn blue).
  2. Click on the small button labeled "…" that appears on the right-hand side.
  3. This will launch Configure Print Channels window. There are options to Add, Edit, or Delete each product.

Adding/Editing Products:

  1. To add a channel, select the line and click on Add. To edit, click Edit.
  2. This will launch either the Add Print Channel or Edit Print Channel window, depending on the button selected.
  3. Use the drop-down menu to select the Product ID for the product you are configuring.
  4. Set Psize Width and Psize Height to the print size width and height in millimeters.
  5. Enter the PCN Name for the product. This is the Print Channel to be used for the product as configured in the Konica printer. Example: 4 inch paper is 4R.
  6. Use Border Size Standard to enter the standard border size. The default is -1.5000, and this value should be kept as default for all sizes.
  7. Set Border Size Bordered to the border size for prints of this size with borders. The default is 3.1750. (**Note: All data fields here forth should have information entered to the fourth decimal place, i.e. "3.0000".)
  8. For Width Inches, set the width of the product in inches. This should be slightly smaller than the true size, in terms of hundredths of an inch. Typically, subtracting 0.20 inches is sufficient. (Example: 6 inches should be entered as 5.9800 instead of 6.0000.)
  9. For Height Inches, set the height of the product in inches. This should be slightly larger than the true size, in terms of hundredths of an inch. Typically, adding 0.20 inches is sufficient. (Example: 4 inches should be entered as 4.0200 instead of 4.0000.)
  10. The Orientation field allows the lab to set the orientation prior to getting to the Konica software, thus saving the operator time by not having to rotate images. Set the orientation for each size as needed.
  11. Click OK once completed.
  12. Repeat the above steps for each size.

Adding/Editing a Product Channel

**Note: Make sure to account for all products, not just the print products. For example, 8x10 Prints, 8x10 Greeting Cards and 8x10 Wall Art are considered to be three unique products by the APM software. Therefore, each will need to be assigned to the printer and configured in a printer interface. Failing to account for an offered product will cause orders to fail.

Deleting a Product:

  1. Select the product to delete and highlight it.
  2. Click on the Delete button.
